“We’ll have something similar,” Maisie said. “I love how it turned out.”

“The food is terrific.” Janet took another bite of her trout.

“Aye, I love the beef.” Frederick ate another slice of beef.

Anne sighed. “I just need a mate so I can do this too.”

They all laughed.

After dinner, they had chocolate cake and homemade vanilla ice cream.

Robert and Maisie asked her parents how things were going with their house in Glasgow.

“We just got an offer while Edeen and Lachlan were saying their vows and sold it,” Frederick said. “We’ll be moving into our new home in three weeks, so when you return from your honeymoon, we’ll be living here a week later.”

“We can help you get moved in then,” Maisie said.

Janet laughed. “Practically the whole wolf pack is helping us. We couldn’t be more thrilled about how everything all played out.”

“That’s great,” Robert said.

“What are we going to do about Jack?” Anne asked.

“I was just going to ask if there had been any other news about him,” Janet said.

They hadn’t brought the subject of Jack up in a whilebecause they hadn’t thought of any other way to try to get hold of him.

“Not a word. I wonder if he has taken a new alias and has found a new girlfriend,” Robert said.

“I wouldn’t let your guard down,” Frederick said.

“No. Certainly not.” Robert and the others would definitely keep an eye out for him for as long as it took.

“I’m still trying to locate him with all the resources I have,” Iverson said.

“Good.” Frederick drank some of his champagne. “The guy needs to be dealt with terminally.”

“Hey, I know you and Maisie planned to go fishing with Lachlan when they get back from their honeymoon, but by then you’ll be getting married and going off to the woods for your honeymoon. Chelsea wants to go fishing, and we were wondering if you would like to go as a foursome? We’ll take a separate boat, and we’ll all go fishing,” William said. “And of course, we’ll take some photos of ourselves, in the event Jack’s still monitoring our social network posts.”

“I would love to do that. We finished the flower beds for the garden, and it’s time to just take a break. This time we’ll actually catch fish.” Maisie kissed Robert on the mouth, and he deepened the kiss.

“Aye, that sounds like fun. You’ll have to photograph all the fish we catch so Lachlan and Edeen know we really caught something.” At least Robert hoped they would.

“How about tomorrow? After Anne and Maisie prepare breakfast for their guests?” William asked.

“That sounds good,” Maisie said, “if you’re alright with it, Anne.”

“Yeah, and we can have a fish fry once you return.” Anne smiled.

The challenge was on.

Edeen and Lachlan had their first dance after the meal, and everyone loved watching them. Then everyone had a chance to dance.

Colleen and Heather were doing well, tired because of nursing the babies so much, but each of them managed one dance with their mates. The rest of the time they enjoyed the celebration while the babies slept in two separate bassinets next to the head table. Even Janet and Frederick were happily dancing with each other.

“Let’s dance,” Robert said to Maisie, standing and offering her his hand.

“I’ve been waiting for you to offer.”
